Cutest thing ever!
Wow!
Better than climbing that mountain I think, I held a baby turtle for the first time!
We went to a place called Turtle Island yesterday where mother turtles arrive every night to lay their eggs in the sand. The wildlife rangers here collect these eggs and help to protect them until they hatch and then release them.
We got to see close up a mother turtle on the beach laying her eggs, then we got to hold the eggs and then we were each given our own baby turtle to hold for a few minutes before they were released! These little fellas are pretty strong and so cute, exactly like the ones in Finding Nemo. They flap their arms and legs like crazy so you have to hold them pretty tight.
Was tempted to take one home.... but Mum would only make soup with it.... :)
